Master Changsheng

Chapter 38: Zero Yuan Purchase

Following the clean street, An Kai headed towards the bounty tower.

This time, he didn't walk very fast.

I've been to Chaos City a few times, but each time I've only come and gone in a hurry.

I haven't had a proper look at the streets and other features of Chaos City yet.

If given the chance, An Kai still prefers to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City.

Humans are ultimately social creatures.

Just like his previous seclusions.

The reason he couldn't stay in seclusion for long was partly due to food shortages, and partly due to his lonely heart.

An Kai felt that if he stayed in seclusion for too long, he would go crazy…

Therefore, Chaos City is a good place for seclusion.

The prerequisite is that his strength is sufficient to allow him to be fearless in the face of any unexpected events occurring within Chaos City…

Halfway there, they suddenly heard the sound of a carriage rushing behind them.

He stepped aside and stood on the street with two residents of Chaos City.

They watched as three horse-drawn carriages sped towards them.

"What kind of fortune has the Evergreen Gang made this time? They need three horse-drawn carts to haul their food?"

"Don't you know? Ever since the Evergreen Gang swallowed up the Mountain Opening Gang, they've been buying food by horse-drawn carts—they're incredibly extravagant!"

An Kai, who had been listening intently, showed a look of interest…

"Sigh! When will we be able to break through to the second tier? Then we could start a gang and have some fun!"

"Hey! What are you thinking! If Tier 2 were that easy, our Chaos City wouldn't have so many..."

"That's not right. There are many second-tier professionals every year, so why are there so few in Chaos City?"

"I don't know about that, but I heard something from my neighbor's grandson's friend: only after reaching the second tier can one truly glimpse the mysteries of Chaos City!"

"A mystery? What mystery?"

"Don't ask. If I knew, I wouldn't be standing here being your friend."

"…Oh!"

...

The two people beside An Kai left.

He wanted to hear about the Evergreen Gang.

Unexpectedly, I heard something else.

"Second-order glimpse into the mysteries of Chaos City?"

An Kai muttered to himself, feeling as if the two of them were making things up in their own minds.

Although Chaos City is very large, he has been there several times and explored some parts of it, in addition to Hanks living there for a period of time.

If there were any secret, could it be hidden from Hanks?

Back in the nameless town, this guy was a notorious gossip king; he even knew exactly what position the town mayor used!

As for Hanks knowing the secret but not telling him, Ankai thinks that's impossible.

If there were any real secret, Hanks would have sold it to him for a high price long ago.

An Kai shook his head and chuckled softly.

Continue walking through the streets of Chaos City.

This time, however, he changed direction...

It's no longer a bounty post, but the Evergreen Gang...

Given the uncertainty of the bounty post and the high probability of success with the Evergreen Gang's zero-yuan purchase offer, Ankai chose the Evergreen Gang...

...

Two hours later.

An Kai squatted in the corner opposite the Changqing Gang, disguised as a street vendor.

He bought the stall with a gold coin.

He also had a detector that he had borrowed from the fat, big-eared businessman.

Whenever a member of the Evergreen Gang came out, An Kai would step forward and try to solicit customers...

[Tier 1, Level 4]

[Tier 1, Level 6]

...

[First Tier, Ninth Level]

This is an old acquaintance, the knight Polpi, whose mount was eaten by Lei Ming, the former leader of the Kaishan Gang.

Ankai cheerfully tried to sell him his product, which attracted Polpi's attention and led him to chase him away...

"Are you treating me like a pig to be slaughtered?!"

Polpi muttered something and walked into the Evergreen Gang's headquarters.

That is, the former headquarters of the Kaishan Gang.

The Changqing Gang's headquarters had long been burned to the ground by An Kai.

As darkness fell, An Kai finally met his target.

He hurriedly carried a bowl of murky, unrecognizable tea and ran toward the Changqing Gang leader who had just appeared.

"Sweet water, sweet water, delicious and inexpensive, only one gold coin!"

Carey was in a good mood, as Polpi had led his gang to complete some bounty missions that day.

This allowed the Evergreen Gang to acquire a considerable amount of supplies.

So, Kerry prepared to head to the pleasure house in the city for some fun...

Let's celebrate the Evergreen Gang's further strengthening!

As I left the gang's territory, I encountered the vendor.

When Kerry is in a good mood, he usually supports his business.

This time, too.

When the unfamiliar vendor approached, Carey wondered if he was a friend of the vendor or something.

Just as I was about to support them as usual, I heard the price of "slaughtering pigs" for one gold coin.

Kerry's expression froze for a moment, then he snapped, "You dare to try and scam me? Get out!"

An Kai chuckled twice and took a step back.

With his back to Kerry, he pulled out a detector from his pocket…

[Second-order duality]

Ankai smiled when he saw the answer displayed by the detector.

No wonder he felt that Kerry was relatively weak, not invincible.

So it's similar to the Typhon Giant!

Turning around, Ankai was only about two meters away from Kaili.

He carried the bowl and continued walking towards Kaili.

"Can't you understand me?! Get out!"

As an Enchanted Archer, Kerry hates nothing more than others getting close to him.

After all, his body, like that of a mage, is quite frail.

Seeing the vendor oblivious to his impending doom and continue walking forward, Kerry was filled with anger.

He swore that if the vendor dared to take another step, he would twist the bastard's head off!

With one step, the distance between the two was reduced to only half a meter!

Enraged, Kerry was about to take out a weapon from his storage ring to cut off Ankai's legs when he twisted off his head. Ankai's figure blurred!

He was already standing in front of him!

The next moment, a large hand, like a pair of pincers, tightly gripped Kerry's neck!

Ankai grabbed Kaili by the neck with his right hand, and his movements were swift!

With his left fist clenched, he delivered a straight punch to Kaili's stomach!

Bang! Clang!

The bowl of sweet water fell to the ground with a thud, and Kerry's eyes bulged out, letting out a hoarse, painful howl...

"Don't resist!"

Ankai grabbed Kaili by the neck and said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Kerry nodded with all his might.

He never expected the vendor to be so short-tempered. Had he known, he would have bought a bowl of sweet water instead!

Kerry was wearing a storage ring on her finger, which Ankai took away.

Immediately afterwards, An Kai punched Kaili three more times, leaving him limp like a dead dog, before dragging him into the Changqing Gang.

Under the shocked gazes of the gang members guarding the food, they led three horse-drawn carts, still laden with food, out of the Evergreen Gang.

At that moment, many members of the Evergreen Gang surrounded them. An Kai remained calm and continued to punch Kaili repeatedly.

This prevented the Evergreen Gang members from advancing.

An Kai knew exactly what he wanted: the three carriages from the Changqing Gang, and the storage ring resources in Kaili's possession.

They did not rob the Evergreen Gang's warehouse.

There are two advantages to doing this.

Firstly, the Evergreen Gang wouldn't risk their lives against him. Secondly, the Evergreen Gang could be considered a long-term, stable resource point, which could be farmed again after he emerged from seclusion.

Ankai used the rope from his storage ring to tie the three carriages together side by side.

Then, using overwhelming force, he subdued three fine horses. He sat in the middle carriage, holding a long whip, and lashed it fiercely across the horses…

"drive!"

On the carriage, An Kai stepped on the unconscious Kai Li, and drove the carriage away from the sight of the Changqing Gang members...

There are more than two hundred members of the Evergreen Gang, including many experts at the eighth or ninth level of the first rank. If they were to swarm him, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause An Kai.

However, because Ankai was aware of the situation and had Kaili as leverage, so many gang members were forced to watch helplessly as Ankai left...

"Damn it! The gang leader is doomed!"

"Master Polpi, what should we do?"

"Although the gang leader has left, our gang cannot afford any mishaps! Fine! I'll temporarily assume the position of gang leader for the Evergreen Gang!"

"..."

"You guys have a problem with that?!"

"...No...no..."

Polpi shook his head, looking pained, and sighed as he walked towards the Evergreen Gang...

Halfway there, Polpi suddenly turned back and instructed, "Oh, by the way, Kerry has a concubine in the east of the city. Go and bring her here; I need to comfort her wounded heart!"

"...Yes! Chief...!"
